Snow in "the deep south"

Yeah, it snowed. Or should I say, "snowed"? (that's me with air quotes). But, I'm THRILLED!! Even though it looks like some dumped over a salt shaker outside, school was cancelled and Charles got to stay home today!!! We did nothing but hang out together with Drake and it was a wonderful day. Now, on to SUMMER!!!

Just the two of us...

Today is the first day I have been alone with Drake. All alone. I'm a little nervous! I am used to having Charles here with me. But, he is at a wrestling match all day long and I'm here...by myself with Drake...all day long. Deep breath. So far, we're doing well. Oh yeah. Toby, our boxer puppy, is here too...this should make for an interesting day. He wants to play, Drake wants to eat, and I've got to work...I need to get used to this though. Starting Tuesday, we'll be making a habit out of being just the two...er, three of us!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I can't believe 2010 is already here. It's weird to say "I had a baby boy last year." Drake is now 3 and a half weeks old and weighs 9 lbs 8 ounces. 2009 was a great year, mostly since we found out we were pregnant, but there are a few things I could have done without...Charles being gone for 2 and a half months being the main thing. But, you take the good, you take the bad, and there you have...the facts of life. He will be going away again this year, only it will be for 3 months. But, I'm not going to dwell on the bad. I'm going to focus on all the milestones we will see together as Drake grows. This new year holds many mysteries in store for us and I look forward to seeing what they are! Hopefully, they will be good mysteries! Yay 2010!
